Family Asado Experience: The Heart of Uruguay
Description
Just 15 minutes from Montevideo, this immersive cultural experience invites you to join a Uruguayan family for an unforgettable asado — a traditional barbecue that’s the centerpiece of local life.
Set amid vineyards and open countryside, you’ll help prepare grilled meats, homemade salads, and typical snacks while learning about Uruguay’s rural traditions. As the aroma of the grill fills the air, enjoy lively conversation, vinyl music, and authentic family wine tasting in a relaxed setting.
The experience extends beyond the table: meet the farm animals, explore the vineyard, and share mate — Uruguay’s most beloved drink — while connecting with generations of locals. For Mastercard guests, the family will prepare a special dish during lunch and gift you a handcrafted souvenir made by local artisans as a symbol of Uruguayan hospitality.
